Hey all, I just got my date today, and it is August 26th!! It's nice to be going through this with others!

Is anyone else freaking out?? I almost feel like I want to throw up I am so nervous. I have never had surgery, never been in the hospital, never had a broken bone, nothing! My egd was the first time I ever had any anesthesia. I haven't even had gas at the dentist!!

Ever since this afternoon I have this huge urge to call the whole thing off. But I know I need to do this. I have never been able to lose weight on my own, and without losing weight I won't ever be able to have children.

extra yay for both of us because everyone says he is pretty amazing. My coworker got the lap band with Dr. Strom 2 yrs ago.

Is he requiring a pre op diet for you? I called today and they told me I don't have to do one. My pre op testing is the 16th and my pre op appt with Strom is the 23rd. We might bump into each other not even knowing. lol.

No.... I was told they would send me a letter with all the info but i haven't received anything so I called today and the secretary told me about the appts. I'm really excited. I wish he wasn't on vaca for the next 2 wks otherwise I would have chosen this week for the surgery. we def have to stay in touch with each other. we're like bandster twins (how corny. lol)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
